Dialogic Open System Release 6.1

This distribution is applicable to Linux 2.4, 2.6 and 3.x kernels and was targeted at ix86, x86_64,
ppc and ppc64 architectures, but should build and install for other architectures as well.

This is the sixth release of the OpenSS7 package. This is a production grade release. All existing
validation test suites run clean on supported distributions, production kernels and architectures.

Major features since the last release are as follows:

Added new OPENSS7-MX-MON-MIB for monitoring (probe).

Created new X400P-MX driver with full monitoring capabilities to work under Archlinux.

This is a public stable production grade release of the package: it deprecates previous
releases. Please upgrade to the current release before reporting bugs.

As with other OpenSS7 releases, this release configures, compiles, installs and builds RPMs and DEBs
for a wide range of Linux 2.4, 2.6 and 3.x rpm(8) and dpkg(1) based distributions, and can be used
on production kernels without patching or recompiling the kernel.

This package is publicly released strictly under the GNU Aferro General Public License Version 3;
however, commercial licensing is available. The release is available as an autoconf(1) tarball,
SRPM, DSC, and a set of binary RPMs and DEBs for popular distributions. See the package page (http://www.openss7.org/openss7_pkg.html) or the
repository page (http://www.openss7.org/repos.html)
for information concerning network installation and update sources.
